How the Scan Estimate Works, Step by Step

Key takeaways
– Six steps: record the room, say what you want, text it in, get an itemized estimate with the full scope, then a free measure, then a written price good for fourteen days.
– No app to download, no account to create, no salesman at your door. A phone and about ninety seconds.
– The scan estimate is free and non-binding. The binding price comes after the free in-home measure — that’s what makes it a price you can hold us to.

Step 1: Record the Room

Take out your phone and walk the room slowly. Thirty to sixty seconds of video beats a stack of photos, because video shows how the room fits together — the corners, the ceiling, the floor, where the doors swing, where the fixtures sit.

Don’t clean up for us. Show the stained grout, the cabinet door that hangs wrong, the window that won’t close. The problems are half the scope, and a video that hides them produces an estimate that misses them.

Step 2: Say What You Want, Out Loud

While you record, talk. Tell us what you’re picturing: “Keep the layout, new shower where the tub is, large-format tile, black fixtures, double vanity if it fits.” Colors, materials, what stays, what goes — say it the way you’d say it to a friend standing next to you.

Your voice is the scope of work. Contractors have always priced jobs by walking a room with the homeowner and listening. The narration is that walk, done on your schedule instead of ours. Don’t worry about using the right trade words — plain language prices just fine.

Step 3: Text It to (561) 462-9293

That’s the whole intake process. No portal, no password, no forty-field form. You text the video to (561) 462-9293, and your job file opens with the video and your own description of the work in it.

If you’re in Palm Beach or Broward County, you’ll get a confirmation back from us. Then the pricing starts.

Step 4: Get Your Estimate and the Scope Stack

We price the job the way a contractor prices it — from a working price book, not a national database. What comes back is an itemized estimate with the full scope written out in three sections:

• Demolition and waste — everything that comes out, and where it goes.
• Labor — every step of the work, written as its own line, even the steps that don’t carry a separate price.
• Materials — what your selections actually cost, including the small stuff most quotes pretend doesn’t exist.

The range is built honestly: the low end is that same job built with builder-grade selections, the full written scope, and the code work done right — the least it can honestly cost — and it rises from there with your materials and your area’s labor market. Behind the number is a licensed Florida general contractor — CGC1511492 — and twenty-five years of contracting experience that has produced tens of thousands of estimates. The math shows. If any line looks wrong, ask us about that line.

One thing the estimate is not: a final price. Video can’t see inside walls, and we won’t pretend it can. Which is what the next step is for.

Step 5: The Free Measure Vouches for It

In our South Florida service area, a measure tech comes to your home — free, and on your schedule. Not a salesperson. A measure tech’s whole job is measurements and conditions: exact dimensions, the state of what’s behind the fixtures, access, everything the video couldn’t prove.

That visit is what turns an estimate into a vouched-for number. If the room matches the scan, the scan’s number stands. If something’s hiding — rot, old plumbing, a slab surprise — you hear about it before anyone signs anything, not after your bathroom is torn apart.

Step 6: Your Price in Writing, and Financing if You Want It

After the measure, you get one written price for the written scope, good for fourteen days. The number we write is the number you pay. Take the two weeks. Compare it. Paste the whole estimate into ChatGPT or Gemini and ask if it’s fair — we build every number to survive that question.

If you want to spread the cost, financing is available with approved credit — smaller jobs can run from $120 a month with approved credit, and most homeowners land in the low $200s to $300s. We’ll walk through the real options in person, with your actual numbers, not a teaser rate.

Outside Florida? The estimate is still free and still yours. Take it into your negotiation with a local contractor — a number with the math showing is the best leverage a homeowner can carry.

Start on our Scan Estimate page, or just text the video to (561) 462-9293 and skip the reading.

Financing is available on everything we do. Payments start at $120 a month on smaller jobs, and most projects land in the low $200s to $300s a month with approved credit. Rates run as low as 4.49% APR for qualified buyers. Ask at the free measure and we’ll lay the options out in writing, next to the estimate.

Insurance savings vary by carrier, policy, and home — figures shown are ‘up to’ amounts, not guarantees. Grant eligibility, amounts, and funding availability are determined by the program and may change. Financing subject to lender approval; rates and payments vary by credit profile. All financing examples assume approved credit through our financing partner.
